64 PROVISIONAL OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-18 DOCKET NO. 50-244 Revise Appendix A Technical Specifications by removing the pages identifi'ed below and inserting the enclosed pages.
The revised pages contain the captioned amendment number and marginal lines which indicate the area of changes.

3.11.2 3.11;3 e.
Charcoal absorbers shall be installed in the ventilation system exhaust from the spent fuel storage pit area and shall be operable.
Radiation levels in the spent fuel storage area shall be monitored continuously.
The trol1ey of the auxiliary building crane shall never be stationed or permitted to pass over storage racks containing spent fuel.
IL'.11.4 The spent fuel pool temperature shall be limited to 150'F.
3.11.5 The spent fuel shipping cask shall not be carried by the auxiliary building crane, pending the evaluation of the spent fuel cask drop accident and the crane design by RGEE and NRC review and approval.
Basis:
Charcoal adsorbers will reduce significantly the consequenes of a refueling accident which considers the clad failure of a single irradiated fuel assembly.
Therefore, charcoal adsorbers should be employed whenever irradiated
., fuel is being handled.
This requires that the ventilation system should be operating and drawing air through the adsorbers.
The desired air flow path, when handling'irradiated fuel, is from the outside of the building into the operating floor area, toward the spent fuel storage pit, into the area exhaust
- ducts, through the adsorbers, and out through the ventilation system exhaust to the faci'Iity vent.
Operation of a 3.11-2
" Amendement No. ld, 3/, g, 6A
main auxiliary building exhaust fan assures that air discharged into the main ventilation system exhaust duct will go through a
HEPA and be discharged to the facility vent.
Operation of the exhaust fan for the spent fuel storage pit area causes air movement on the operating floor to be towards the pit.
Proper operation of the fans and setting of dampers would result in a negative pressure on the operating floor which will cause air leakage to be into the building.
Thus, the overall air flow is from the location of low activity (outside the building) to the area of highest activity (spent fuel storage pit).
The exhaust air flow would be through a roughing filter and charcoal before being discharged from the facility.
The roughing filter protects the adsorber from becoming fouled with dirt; the adsorber removes iodine, the isotope of highest radiological significance, resulting from a fuel handling accident.
The effectiveness of charcoal for removing iodine is assured by having a high throughput and a high removal efficiency.
The throughput is attained by operation of the exhaust fans.
The high removal efficiency is attained by minimizing the amount of iodine that bypasses the charcoal and having charcoal with a high potential for removing the iodine that does pass through the charcoal.
